Nighttime fell over a small town near the Great Wall of China. Many people turned in for the night, so no one was able to be there when a small leaf landed on a pile of logs used for a fire. The logs still had some heat in them, and once the leaf touched them, a fire started.
Thankfully for the townsfolk, the fire moved towards the forest and spread in there. As trees became coated in flames, one fell over and a branch hit an egg capsule, opening it up and spilling out two cards.
The fire soon covered the two cards. Yet, instead of being destroyed, they glowed red and came to life. Out came a large, light green theropod with dark green spots that was even larger than Terry. Despite being a Fire Element, it actually had three claws instead of two, which was more common amongst theropods. The carnivore roared and soon something formed in its mouth. It was a large fireball.
The dinosaur fired the fireball like it was a cannon and sent it flying through the forest before it exploded and spread the fire even further. The large carnivore gave out a loud roar of victory.
(Intro Theme)
At Zeta Point, Zander was helping Rod and Ed with an invention of theirs. The invention was shoes with springs inside of them, giving the wearer the ability to bounce instead of walk. "Wow! This is fantastic! Ha, ha, ha!" Zander said overjoyed as he continued bouncing up and down. "I love this! I'm walking on air! Can I have a pair when they're made public?!" He asked as he continued his constant bouncing. "I'll never take them off!"
Rod and Ed watched from the sidelines. "Cool, huh?" Rod asked his partner. "This has to be one of our coolest inventions yet." He gloated.
"I wouldn't know; Zander won't take them off so I can find out." Ed replied depressed as he slumped on the log they were sitting on. Obviously, he wanted a turn as well.
"Once it's completed you could run to the end of a football field in less than five steps." Rod declared.
"Hey! How do I stop these crazy things! Help!" Zander cried as he began jumping away.
"So much for never wanting to take them off." Ed muttered under his breath.
"Zander, those are just a prototype!" Rod yelled back. "There's an off switch somewhere, but I can't remember where it is!" Ed immediately had a horrified look on his face. All of a sudden he didn't want to try them anymore.
Zander felt the same way. "What?! You mean to tell me I'm the first person to try these crazy things out!? Thanks a lot!" He cried as anime tears came out of his eyes. Soon he began bouncing into a moss-covered elevator. "Still going!" He said as he bounced down into the room underneath causing objects to fly outside somehow.
In another room, Ursula was busy applying her make up when Zander appeared. "Help! Ursula, help me!" He cried as he bounced right into her, causing her to face plant into the table.
When she got back up she was angry. "Hey, watch it!" She yelled at the tall, bouncing man before she noticed her lipstick was stuck up her nose. She grabbed her mirror to get a better look. "Ah, style trendsetter or fashion faux pas?" She asked herself. "What am I saying?!" She growled before she removed the lipstick and sought to catching Zander. "Snot for me!"
"Stop, Zander!" Ed yelled as he entered the room to help.
"I'd like to, but I can't " Zander replied as he kept bouncing around the room, knocking everything over in the process.
Ed and Ursula kept on continuously trying to catch Zander and stop him from making a bigger mess, only their attempts made the mess even worse. "Ed, would you mind help me catch him!"
"I'm trying, but it's like catching an eel!" He replied.
"OK, together!" She said as they got ready to pounce Zander.
Soon he was caught in mid bounce by Gigas. "Oh, thank you, Gigas! You're a lifesaver!" Zander cried as anime tears of happiness came out of his eyes and he hugged the Tyrannosaurus.
"No problem." He simply replied, not really sure how to react to the affection.
It was then Dr.Z entered the room to do, what else, yell. "What is going on here! How can I rule an evil empire with all this racket!"
"Sorry, sir. We were admiring your invention." Ursula told him. She was currently lying below Ed as the result of the attempt to catch Zander being thwarted by Gigas.
"You mean my invention?" Ed asked her accusingly.
"Different creator, same results." She waved him off.
Before anyone else could say anything Rod and Laura entered the room with a blinking Alpha Scanner. "Guess what, Grandpa? There's another dinosaur." Laura told him.
This immediately turned Dr.Z's mood into a much more positive one, so to speak. "Where? Show me." He ordered.
Soon everyone was by the large map as Rod identified where the signal was coming from. "It's located right by the Great Wall of China." Rod confirmed. "Did you know that's supposed to be the greatest work of architecture in the history of mankind? Pretty cool, huh?" He added.
While the others were interested in Rod's trivia, his grandpa only growled in anger. "Grr! How dare they try to steal the place in history that belongs to me and my Alpha Gang!" He wailed before getting a victorious smirk on his face. "When my dinosaur kingdom is finished I'll make that wall look like the pile of rubble it is!" He declared, imagining the coliseum from his simulation behind him.
"That's right!" The trio answered as they saluted the doctor. Ursula currently was holding Zander to keep him from bouncing.
"And just how are we going to do that?" Z asked.
"By capturing dinosaurs using every dirty trick in the book." Ursula answered, pulling Zander's hair for some reason. Maybe she was about earlier. Suddenly, they all had a look of terror on their faces and then ran out of the room, Gigas following close behind.
"I guess I'll go do my homework now." Rod said nervously.
"Yeah, me too." Laura replied before they left as well.
"Huh? Was it something I said?" Dr.Z asks confused by the sudden fear, more than usual.
That was answered by the sound of a mop slapping onto someone's hand. Dr.Z tenses up as he turned around to see Helga looking at him, obviously angry. "Doctor! Could you please tell me why the room next door is a disaster!" She ordered.
"Yes, it wasn't me, it was Zander!" He replied nervously.
Helga didn't by this, even if it was true. "I don't wish to hear the blame game, Doctor! Just get over there and clean it up now!" She ordered before handing him and mop and bucket. Dr.Z sighed, he really needed to grow a backbone if he was to rule the world.

Meanwhile, the D-Team was currently doing some excavating by a cliff near Max's house. Terry was currently playing chase with Ace while the rest of the dinos were busy eating grass. "Yes! I found another card capsule!" The herbivores turned to see Max coming out of the bushing with a dirty, round object in his hands. "Awesome! Now let's see which one this contains." He said before wiping off the dirt only to uncover a blue ball instead. "Oh, it's just a dumb old rubber ball." He sighed in disappointment.
"Come on, do you really think we'll be lucky enough to find more cards in this same forest?" Zoe asked as she walked up to the brunette.
Max stood up and addressed his friend. "As a member of the D-Team, it just so happens to be our mission to collect all the cards. That way we can save the dinosaurs. Maybe you and Rex could start searching too." He told her accusingly.
Zoe just had a simple expression on her face. "Max, they're scattered all over the world. Again, it's kind of hard to believe that many others are just lying in our backyard."
With Rex, he was currently looking for really anything of interest in the cliff while Ace continued running from Terry. The Carnotaurus decided to hang out with Terry for the day and see what he liked to do with Chomp. As it turned out, the T-Rex was a very rough player. And this was made perfectly clear when Terry would use his teeth to catch Ace's tail, not holding back his bite-force. "Don't bite me!" Ace yelled at him.
As they continued running, Ace quickly ran right in front of, Rex causing Terry to do the same. Rex jumped back in surprise. "Aah! Watch it!" He yelled at the two. "Ace, can you play your game somewhere else please?"
"I'm sorry, but I'm trying to avoid becoming someone's breakfast!" Ace answered.
"Oh, stop being such a drama queen. It's only a nibble." Terry told him.
"Yeah, sure. Tell that to all the prey you ate with those jaws!" Ace answered sarcastically.
Max watched as the scene played out. While he was happy that Terry and Ace were playing together, maybe they could play a different game. He looked at the ball in his hand and thought maybe that could help. "Hey, Ace, Terry, fetch!" He called out as he tossed them the rubber ball he found. Ace stopped running as caught the ball in his mouth, gently as to not pop it. He tossed the ball over to Terry, who also caught it in his mouth. "Phew!" Ace sighed in relief as Terry tossed the ball over. Finally, he was able to catch his breath.
Rex mentally thanked Max before returning to his digging. Almost immediately, he found something of interest. "Look at this! An ammonite!" He showed his friends as he held up the fossil. "A marine animal fossil in perfect condition! Wow!"
"You mean those little squid thingy's in the shells. I loved those! They tickled as you swallowed." Spiny said as he and the herbivores walked over to the fossil.
Ace wanted to see the fossil too, so he rolled the ball over to Terry and walked over to the others. Terry didn't take the hint and tossed the ball over to Ace, only for it to miss and hit Rex in the back of the neck, causing him to drop the fossil shattering it into pieces. "Aah!"
"Uh-oh." Terry said when he saw what his pass did.
"Well, there goes Squiddy." Spiny simply said.
Rex looked at the fossil, dumbfounded. His perfect fossil ruined in seconds. He had a scorn on his face before he turned to Max. "I told you they were playing too hard! Now look what you did! So much for my perfect fossil!" He yelled at Max.
"Sorry, Rex. It was an accident." Terry apologized.
"Yeah, an accident. That's what we should say when you don't use that thick head of yours!" Ace snapped. Terry backed up a bit in surprise at the Carnotaur's tone.
Rex just huffed to himself before he picked up the pieces of the fossil. "Here, let me help." Max volunteered.
"No thanks, I can do it on my own!" Rex snapped at him.
"Come on, Rex. I get why you're both mad at Terry, but why me? I didn't do anything wrong." Max asked as he tried to defend himself.
"Exactly." Ace answered. "You did nothing."
"What's that supposed to mean!?" Max asked, offended by the Carnotaur's comment.
"You guys, please don't fight!" Zoe pleaded as Rex and Ace both glared and Max and Terry, who glared back as a fiery background appeared, though no one obviously saw it.
Chomp and Tank watched the scene play out. "Don't take this the wrong way, but Ace and Rex seem overly pissed off at Max and Terry." Chomp whispered to the Saichania.
"Same could be said for those two." Tank replied. Thank god they didn't have issues with each other at the moment.

With the Alpha Gang, they were using a hang glider to travel all the way to China. "This is great!" Zander commented.
"I just wish I wasn't flying in the front." Ed said as he looked like he was going to be sick.
"Trust me, Ed, I did you a favor." Ursula told him. "You really don't want to be flying behind Zander right now." She said as she turned her head away from the man in front of her.
"Oh, yeah? Well, you can just thank Helga for serving pork and beans again. How else do you think this plane is flying." Zander told them smugly.
"Why couldn't you just put Zander in the back?" Ed asked Ursula.
"Because shut up." She said. If Zander wasn't in the way she would have whacked Ed for that comment.
Soon they were able to see the large wall. "Hey there it is! The Great Wall of China!" Ed confirmed.
"But do you see the dinosaur?" Ursula asked.
"That wall is over 5,000 miles long." Zander explained. "It could take months to find the dinosaur. Couldn't Dr.Z be a little more specific? Like a landmark or a sign perhaps?"
Suddenly the dinosaur gave out a roar and a flock of egrets flew away in fear. "Hey! That must be the sign we're looking for!" Ursula told them. "The dinosaur must have scarred those birds." She theorized. "This is our lucky day." She and Zander cheered.
Ed, on the other hand, just hung his head in defeat. "Right, our lucky day." He said depressed as he waited for what he knew would happen.
Sure enough, just as Ed predicted, the egrets flew right into the path of the hang glider and tore it up into pieces. Soon the whole thing burst and the Alpha Gang was sent falling to the ground. "Whoa!" At least that's what would have happened if they suddenly didn't start bouncing up in the air. "Ha, ha! Good thing I thought to wear the Jumping Shoes. I'd knew they'd come in handy. You're welcome." Zander gloated.
Ursula was mainly in shock as to how Zander even got those things on them without her noticing. "Can you turn down some of them jump!?" Ed asked as he put a hand to calm his stomach.
Ursula soon noticed they were bouncing right into the path of a tree. "Watch out! Zander, how do you shut these things off?!" She asked him as she pointed out the tree in front of them.
"I still haven't found the off button yet." Zander answered, slouching over in defeat before all three crashed into the tree. "Ow." They all muttered at the same time.
DK
The D-Team was currently hanging out at the D-Lab while Rex worked on repairing his fossil. It was a difficult task as he had to make sure the pieces matched perfectly. Thankfully, he had a partner like Ace and his sharp eyes to help.
Soon Max and Terry walked over and grabbed some of the pieces they've yet to put in. "Here, Rex, let's us help you." He said as he started outing the pieces together with Terry's direction.
"That one goes there. This goes here. And that one is next to that one." Terry instructed as he simply sniffed the rocks and looked to see which ones were similar.
"I think it's looking almost perfect again already." Max said as he took Terry's instructions.
Rex and Ace just stared at their stupidity. Rex breathed in deeply before addressing them. "You know, Max, thanks for trying to help and everything, but actually you're not."
"What'd you mean?" Max asked them both. "We're doing it the same way you guys are." He told them.
Before Rex and Ace could respond, the Dino Holder started to blink. "Another dinosaur has appeared." Terry told them.
Reese went over to her computer and looked up the coordinates. "Where is it, Reese?" Max asked.
"Looks like it's in Asia." She confirmed before zooming in. "More specifically, right near the Great Wall of China." She said as the map showed the blinking dot near an outline of the wall.
"Right." Max said before he and Rex ran to the teleportation pad.
"Hey, wait for me." Zoe said as she caught up to them.
Spike put a hand to his chin in thought. "You do realize the Great Wall of China is incredibly long. Almost twice the length of the entire Japanese archipelago. As a doctor of paleontology, I happen to have spent some time studying that might wall and would be more than happy to-"
"Doctor Taylor." Reese interrupted. "The children have already left." She simply told him.
"Whaaaat?!" He cried out in response to Reese's comment.
Salty walked over to the platform Reese and Spike were on. "Is this common?" He asked her.
Resse just sighed before nodding. "Sadly, yes. Get used to it."
DK
Back with the Alpha Gang, they had managed to get out from the tree and were still hoping to the Great Wall. "I don't know about you guys, but I'm feeling a little jumpy." Zander said as all three slouched over, tired from all the bouncing.
"I feel like I'm gonna throw up!" Ed said before covering his mouth, all the bouncing making his stomach upset.
"Well, I'm feeling hopping mad!" Ursula yelled. "I've had enough of this bouncing around! Where's the off button, Zander?!" She ordered.
"Hang on we're almost there. I see the top from here." He assured her. "Just, think of it as a trampoline." He told them both, trying to calm them down.
"I hate trampolines." Ursula groaned.
"Who are they?" Ed asked as he pointed out a group of people in front of them running and screaming for their lives.
The team just happened to land right at the time that the group of people was able to run all over them, flattening them like pancakes and leaving many footprints across their bodies. "To trampoline to tramped-lean." Zander groaned in the dirt.
Soon they heard a roar and saw the dinosaur by the wall. "There it is, the dinosaur!" Ursula exclaimed before trying to identify it. "A car- a carchara- how do you pronounce that thing?!" She asked as she couldn't get the name right.
"I think it's called care-curry-car-a-dinosaurus." Ed told her as he also tried and failed to say the name.
"You're both wrong. Its pronounced cara-orthodonto-saurus." Zander said smugly before scratching his head. "I think." He muttered. Thankfully for them, the dinosaur couldn't hear them, otherwise she would have taken offense to the attempts at her name.
DK
The D-Team teleported into one of the forts on the wall when they heard the roar from the dinosaur. They all ran to the window to see the large carnivore. It was far away so Zoe used her goggles to get a better look. "Wow, that's a really big one! And look at those long, razor-sharp teeth. That's a Carcharodontosaurus!" She told them.
"Those things scare me!" Spiny exclaimed as he hid behind Zoe's leg.
"I remember them being bigger than me." Terry said both nervously and excitedly at the challenge. "At least we beat the Alpha Gang here this time."
"Wrong! We're here, and that cara-corra-donka-dinka-saurus is ours!" Ursula yelled from somewhere. They all looked around to see where the source of the voice came from before Zoe located her.
"Oh, look, it's the old lady!" She told them as she pointed to the Alpha Gang, who was in one of the sky trams.
"Stop calling me an old lady!" Ursula yelled as she squished her face against the screen while Zander and Ed backed away in fear. "And anyway, brats, this is a serious expedition the Alpha Gang is on. Not a field trip for little kiddies. So why don't you all pack up your lunch boxes and go back home!" She told them.
"You won't get to the dinosaur before us!" Max said while he and the others were running after the tram car to keep them from getting to the dinosaur first.
It didn't work as they were already close enough to touch the Carcharodontosaurus, and they decided to mock her name. "Care-a-carra-ortho-dontist! Curry-noodle-car-a-taurus! Whoo!" They cheered as they all struck mocking poses at the large carnivore. They didn't realize she was walking right up to their car until she was right in front of them.
The trio immediately gulped and paled in fear when they saw her so close tgey could reach out and touch her face if stupid enough. "Mmmp! How strong do you think these tram cars are?" Ursula asked.
"Probably not as strong as the jaws of that dinosaur." Ed answered.
"Don't worry, he's probably not hungry for a human being." Zander assured them before all of their eyes widened in realization. "But what if he's hungry for three human beings?!" They all said at the same time. The Carcharodontosaurus soon bashed her head against the car, nearly smashing the glass completely. If it wasn't the nicknames, it was definitely the misgendering that pissed her off.
The Alpha Gang regained their footing and tried to act all tough. "Hey, pal, do you know who you're knocking around?" Ursula asked her. "You better prepare yourself, for we are..."
"The Alpha Gang!" They all finished. The Carcharodontosaurus rammed the car again, this time making the glass shatter and the Alpha Gang fly out. "Whoa!"
They landed in her mouth, and if it wasn't for the jumping shoes they would have been her lunch, as they bounced the trio out of her mouth and back into the tram before her jaws snapped shut. "You can thank me later for sneaking on the shoes!" Zander told them as he and the others shook with fear.
"I'll thank you now while I still can!" Ed answered.
"I'll handle this." Ursula said before shoving them aside. "Listen to me you ugly, big-headed, short-armed, dinosaur with the name that nobody can pronounce!"
"Do you really think this is the time to insult him!" Zander interrupted as the theropod glared at them again. Clearly, they didn't get the really insulting factor.
"Butt out!" She told him before she grabbed out a card. "Fine. I guess I have no choice but to summon Gigas. Ha, go!" She said before swiping the card.
Zander and Ed hugged each other in fear as they realized before Ursula what she just did. "No, Ursula!" Ed cried.
"Please not inside of the tram!" Zander added. Soon the tram enlarged to the point of bursting. When it did, a white Tyrannosaurus came out and the Alpha Gang was sent flying. "Waaah!" They screamed before they all conveniently landed on their tiptoes. Zander realized something. "I finally figured it out. The stop button is located on the toe of the shoe." He said before Gigas landed right behind them.
"Great!" Ursula and Ed replied before they flew away again. Gigas gave out a roar of intimidation, but the Carcharodontosaurus stood her ground. A massive fight between two of the largest theropods was about to break out.
DK
"You guys! I think a battle has just begun!" Zoe said as a Battlefield appeared. Everyone stopped running to see that the world has changed color again. They looked over the side of the wall to see the two carnivores roaring at each other.
"It's Gigas!" Rex said grimly.
"Aw, they beat us to the dinosaur again." Max said. "I'm going down there." He told them before he and his dinos ran down some stairs.
"Max, what do you think you're doin'?" Rex asked him.
"We're gonna try capturing the dinosaur before they do." He replied.
The blonde shook his head in disagreement. "It'll be faster going from the rope station above us." Rex said as he pointed in the direction of said station.
"That'll take too long, and by then it might be too late!" Terry told them before he and the others ran down the stairs.
"It'll be too late if you take that way!" Ace yelled at them as they disappeared from sight.
"Fine, suit yourselves! Let's go, guys!" Rex told them as they ran to their location.
Zoe looked at both directions nervously as she tried to figure out which way to go. "This way's faster?" She asked herself as she looked in Rex's direction. "Wait up!" She called out before she went to catch up with him.
With the fight, Gigas swung his head and took a snap at the Carcharodontosaur, who dodged and did the same attack Gigas did with the same result. While the two continued snapping at each other, Max was able to make it down and outside to where the battle was.
Zoe looked over the wall to see Max was already at the battlefield. "Rex, hang on! It's defiantly faster going Max's way!" She told him.
"She's right! Let's head back!" Tank said in agreement.
Just then, they heard a roar that sounded like one of an attack. "Uh-oh." Zoe said as she watched as the green dinosaur charged up its Fire Cannon attack and fired.
"Whoa!" Gigas said as he ducked from the ball of fire. "This chick has a Fire Cannon Move Card?!" He thought to himself. "Lucky."
The fireball continued on flying until it made contact with the mighty wall. To make matters worse, it was right at the fort that Zoe was in. She screamed in pain as she was knocked back and rubble fell all around her. Everyone gasped when they saw the attack make contact. "Zoe!" Max screamed in worry.
DK
Zoe's whole body ached in pain as she slowly regained consciousness. She looked around to see her she was surrounded by large rocks. She tried to get up but saw that her hands were trapped under a medium-sized boulder. She pulled them out and started to hear some voices.
"Zoe, are you okay?!" Max asked worryingly
"Can you hear me?!" Rex asked frantically. "Answer if you can hear me?!"
Zoe looked around to see where her friends were. "Guys? Where are you?"
"We're outside the rubble." Max told her. "We're talking to you through the Dino Holder. Do you have it?" He asked her
Zoe looked around but couldn't see it. "No." She told them.
Max tried to think of a plan and quick. "Follow the sound of my voice, it should help you find it." He instructed her. Zoe nodded and began to move some rocks away in order to search for it. If she didn't find it, she could be trapped not just in China, but under all this rubble forever.
DK
Gigas looked behind him to see smoke clearing, showing the Great Wall totally damaged. "That wall is centuries old and you destroyed it." He told his opponent. "Nice job. We could really use someone like you on our team." The Carcharodontosaurus roared in response. "What do you mean 'prove myself'?" He then realized what she meant. "Oh, you're one of those types. Well, then, I'll make you wish you took the simple route."
"This could be tougher than I thought." Ursula said as she watched the battle. "Obviously he has a Fire Move."
"I guess that means his Move Card also inside of the capsule, right?" Ed asked. Ursula nodded in confirmation.
Zander began shaking with fear. "This battles impossible! We don't stand a chance against him now!" He said before he accidentally farted in Ursula's direction. "Oh, sorry." He said before he tried fanning the gas away with his jacket.
"No problem." Ursula said as she covers her nose trying to keep the smelly odor out.
It failed as she soon collapsed from Zander's toxic gas. "Ursula?" Ed said as he looked at his unconscious leader
DK
Paris, having escaped bring trapped alongside Spiny and Tank by darting out of the fort once they heard the roar, pawed the rubble slowly as she tried to get inside. "Is she?" She asked Rex, too afraid to say those last words everyone knew would follow.
Rex shook his head. "No, she's still alive." He assured her. This relieved Paris of the worry for her best friend's life, but not for her safety. Rex noticed this and turned to the other three dinosaurs with him. "OK, guys, we got to figure out how to get inside of there somehow." Everyone nodded seriously. Even Spiny didn't joke around this time, for now at least.
On the outer portion of the wall, Max was still directing Zoe to her Dino Holder. "I got it." Her voice said over the radio.
"Ah." Max and Rex both sighed in relief. "OK, can you tell where you are?" Rex asked.
"She's buried under rocks. Was that not obvious enough?" Spiny asked, back to his shenanigans again.
"I meant is she closer to where Max is or where we are." The blonde told him.
Zoe looked around but couldn't tell where she was. "All I know is that I'm trapped." She told them.
Rex sighed as this didn't help them out. "Told you." Spiny said smugly before he and the other three dinosaurs moved the rocks away. It wasn't easy due to their small sizes.
Rex nodded and went to go get Max and the others. "Max, the entrance is totally blocked. We need you to come up here and help us move the rubble away."
"Why do that when we can have Chomp do it in one move?" Max told him before pressing buttons on his Dino Holder.
Ace heard this and leapt up onto the battlement platform next to Rex. "That's dangerous! Come on up!" They both told the brunette.
Terry just glared at them. "Don't listen to them, Bro. This way will get it done in no time." He whispered to Chomp. Chomp wasn't sure what to think and had a worried expression when he was returned to his card.
"Let's go, Chomp!" Max said as he swiped the card.
"DINO SLASH! TRICERATOPS! ROAR!"
Chomp landed next to Max and Terry and looked at the two of them. "Ready to help Zoe, Chomp?" Max asked him. Chomp nodded and moved towards the wall.
"Chomp, your plan will lead to disastrous results!" Ace told him.
"He's right, Chomp, stop it!" Rex added.
Chomp listened to what they said and felt they were right, but he didn't know what else to do. Sighing to himself, he slowly used his horns to push some of the rocks away before shoving them into the rubble pile.
"Aaaaaaah!" Zoe screamed in pain as the cave she was in began shaking and more rocks were falling everywhere.
Chomp heard Zoe's cries of pain and stopped immediately. "If I continue anymore she could be seriously hurt!" Chomp told Max.
Max immediately got worried after what Chomp told him and tried to communicate with Zoe. "Zoe?! Zoe?! Answer me!"
Rex was doing the same thing. "Can you hear me?! Are you all right?!"
"I'm not sure." Was all she could say in reply.
"What'd you mean not sure?" Paris asked as she got more worried than before. Tank used her tail and wrapped it around Paris to bring her in for a hug and to comfort her.
"Chomp! You idiot! You could have killed her! Why is it none of you three think for once!" Ace yelled at Chomp.
"At least he was doing something as opposed to petty fighting." Tank told him sternly.
"What'd you mean?" Rex asked her, sounding surprised and confused by the Saichania's tone of voice.
"What she means." Zoe said over the Dino Holder, sounding very annoyed. "Is that you four should back off and just let me figure it out if you're going to do nothing but fight all the time. I'm sick of it!" Max, Rex, Terry, and Ace's eyes all widened when they heard those words coming out of her mouth.
"She's right." Chomp added, glaring in Terry and Max's direction. "Even when she's in trouble, you can't put your issues from this morning aside." This made the four of them feel even worse. They were supposed to be on a mission to save a dinosaur, and they were fighting so much they can't even save their own friend.
As the fight with Gigas and the Carcharodontosaurus continued, Max was the first to snap out of his train of thought. "They're right." He said with a determined look on his face. "We've got to work together. We'll stay here. You guys take care of the dinosaurs." He told Rex.
"I can help move the larger rocks." Terry volunteered.
"OK." Rex nodded. "Promise me you won't let anything happen to Zoe!" He told them before turning to Ace. "Okay, Ace, let's go!" He said before getting the Carnotaurus suited up for battle
"DINO SLASH! CARNOTAURUS, BLOW THEM AWAY!"
"DINO SLASH! FLAME UP, TYRANNOSAURUS!"
Ace and Terry materialized and immediately went to work. Terry walked over to where Max was and began slowly grabbing large rocks in his huge mouth. Meanwhile, Ace got into a defensive position and was ready to counter anything thrown at him.
"Great, now we got two more dinosaurs to deal with." Ursula said as they looked to where the D-Team was. Obviously, they didn't know what was really going on with them, not that they would care.
"Oh!" Zander said in frustration. "It just keeps on getting worse and worse!" He told them as he put his fists up in the air.
"But that Carnotaurus isn't coming anywhere near us." Ed observed.
Ursula took a closer look and saw that he was right. Ace wasn't advancing towards the battle at all. "You're right, Ed. It must be a setup of some kind." She theorized.
"It's possible he just doesn't feel like fighting right now." Zander said with a bit more optimism in his voice. Hopefully, that means they wouldn't deal with the D-Team.
"Then what's the story with the Triceratops and T-Rex over there?" Ed asked Zander, clearly not liking his theories for some reason.
"Uh, maybe he was bad and is taking a time out and the T-Rex is breaking him out?" Zander theorized again. Ed looked at him like he's crazy
The Carcharodontosaurus knocked Gigas towards the wall. Ace saw this and quickly stopped him from getting closer with his body. The Carcharodontosaurus took this as an opening and began to charge up her Fire Cannon. "Rex, you're letting the battle get too close!" Max told him. If that fireball hit, Zoe could be injured even further.
"Go, Ace!" Rex instructed.
"Right!" Ace replied as he charged towards the green theropod and rammed into her, causing the cannon to misfire hit the wall more to the side.
"Aaaaaah!" Zoe still felt the force of the impact and held onto the rocks for dear life.
Chomp bellowed in pain and Max began holding him. "Chomp, hang in there." He said trying to comfort his Triceratops partner.
Ursula decided now was the time to use her trump card. "Now, enough of this child's play!" She declared as she pulled out Gigas' Move Card. "Spectral Lancer!"
Purple mist formed around both of Gigas' sides and soon two giant crystals formed on both sides on top of his purple markings. He gave a roar of intimidation before charging forward. The Carcharodontosaurus did the same thing, only for her to be picked up by the large crystal arms. "Should have dodged." Gigas said mockingly before he ran towards the rubble pile, trying to get a two for one deal.
"Ace, you gotta block!" Terry said as they got closer. Ace nodded and leapt in front of Chomp and used his body to prevent The Carcharodontosaurus from making contact with the wall. Chomp helped him have more support to keep Gigas back long enough that the crystals soon shattered and disappeared. The Carcharodontosaurus fell to the ground, not severely damaged thanks to the move not being properly executed.
Ursula growled in anger while Zander and Ed began blabbing stuff in gibberish. "This is really unfair! Four dinosaurs against my one! Go, Gigas, so them all that you rule!"
Gigas gave out a loud roar and charged towards them, ready to finish the fight. Terry looked and saw the Carcharodontosaurus charging up another Fire Cannon. He suddenly had an idea. "Rex! Use Ace's Move Card now! We can hit him all at once." He told the blonde as he grabbed the largest boulder he could find with his mouth without choking.
"All right." Rex said before pulling out said card. "Go! Cyclone!" he cried as he slashed the Move Card.
A tornado began to form around Ace before it soon circled around him. Terry took this chance to chuck the rock at Gigas. Gigas noticed this and dodged, but then failed to notice the oncoming Cyclone attack and was hit by it, followed by the Fire Cannon which sent him flying. "Gigas!" Ursula cried as the Tyrannosaur flew over them.
"Triple teamed." Was all Gigas could mutter when he landed. He soon returned to his card and the card flew away in the wind.
"The card's flying away!" Ed exclaimed.
"Let's go! Hop to it!" Ursula told them as they literally hopped after Gigas' card.
"All right, guys!" Rex cheered before he noticed the Carcharodontosaurus getting back up. He was about to thank her, but he saw that once she got up she gave an angry roar at Ace. "Hey, what are you doing?" Rex asked as tears formed in his eyes. "We were just working together, remember?"
"It's not an attack, it's a test." Chomp assured. "She saw how strong we were and she wants to test our strength in battle before joining our herd."
Knowing there was no way to stop the oncoming fight, Max went back to his digging. "Chomp, hold on pal." He said as he continued digging. Spiny, Tank, and Paris arrived on the scene to help him out with digging.
With Zoe, she was able to locate where Max was thanks to Chomp's horns sticking out. "Hi, Chomp." She said before hugging the horns. "Thanks for all your help." She told him before getting a determined look on her face. "I'll work from this side. too." She said before she started moving rocks out of the way.
"I guess there's truly no choice but to fight." Rex thought as the battle began. Ace and the Carcharodontosaur both head-butted each other, trying to push the other one back. "Good job! Hang on a little longer, Ace!" Rex told him.
Terry stopped working for a minute and looked at the battle going on. "She's too strong for him on his own." Terry thought to himself before leaving to help Ace.
"Terry, come back! We need you!" Max yelled as the Tyrannosaurus left the rubble pile.
"I'll be back!" He replied. "I just need to finish this first!" He said before joining Ace in head-butting the large theropod. The force from the larger carnivore was enough to knock the Carcharodontosaurus back a few feet from the rubble. Terry roared before charging at the Carcharodontosaur, who quickly got up and sidestepped to get out of the way. Terry then swung his tail at the Carcharodontosaurus hoping to catch her off guard, only for her to dodge it. He then tried to bite her tail, but missed when she tried to do the same thing.
The green carnivore looked behind her and saw Ace heading her way. She knocked him back with her tail, and he would have hit the pile of rubble if Terry didn't stop him with his head. "We need to close this battle up now before she attacks again." Ace told Terry.
"I have an idea." Terry said before he told Ace his plan.
At the same time, Rex and Max realized the same thing. "Rex, we're letting the battle get too close. We need to use our Move Cards now!" He told the blonde.
Rex hesitantly raised his Move Card above his Dino Holder. "But I'm not sure. What if it backfires?" He told the brunette.
"What?!" Ace said while the two boys were still talking. "Terry, that's suicide!"
"You don't know that." Terry replied. "Look, Ace, that right there." He figuratively pointed at the Carcharodontosaurus. "Is super powerful. We need to hit her with everything we got or Zoe could be seriously hurt."
At the same time, Max gave some inspirational words to Rex as well. "Zoe's in danger! Hurry up!" He told him as he grabbed his own Move Card.
"OK." Rex said. "I know we haven't been together very long, but this is the most important battle we've been in so far."
"We need you, Ace/Terry." Both boys said before swiping their Move Cards together. "Cyclone/Volcano Burst!"
Both dinosaurs glowed red and white respectively before they unleashed their attacks. The wind began circling around Ace, while Terry had fire forming in his mouth. The T-Rex waved his head around before unleashing the fire right onto Ace.
"Terry!"
"Oh my god!"
"What did you do?!"
"Not even I'm/Spiny's that stupid!"
"It's fine." Ace told them before the flames died down. When they did, the Cyclone was still intact, but the wind was now mixed with fire as well. Ace looked around at the wind surrounding him. "What'd you know? Terry's plan actually worked." He said to himself before turning to the Carcharodontosaurus.
After she got over her own shock, she began to charge up another Fire Cannon. "That mouth her is defiantly her greatest strength." Ace analyzed while charging forward. "But since it's such a large target, it can also be her biggest weakness!" He exclaimed in realization before he attacked her head on, literally. The Carcharodontosaurus moaned in pain, as she may have swallowed her own fireball, and collapsed on the ground before glowing red and returning to her card.
"Yes!" Terry cheered. "Who's the top carnivore now?!"
Ace rolled his eyes before turning his attention to more important matters. "How's Zoe?" He asked.
"We're almost there." Max replied. "I can hear her pretty good through the rocks now."
After removing a few more rocks, Zoe was able to see the light of the sun. The rocks outside moved out of the way more and soon a small hole was formed. Paris popped her head in and had tears form in her eyes. "Zoe!"
"Paris!" Zoe replied with tears forming in her eyes too.
More rocks were moved out of the way as Rex and Max made the hole large enough for them to fit in. "Hey? You OK?" Max asked her. Zoe nodded to let them know she was fine. "Here, take my hand." Max volunteered.
"No, mine." Rex interrupted.
"Come on, guys." Zoe said with a smile. "No fighting. We're a team." She said before she grabbed both of their hands and let them both pull her out of the rubble.
"All right, guys, we're good." Max said as he and Rex recalled their dinosaurs. Once Chomp was recalled, the rocks he was holding up collapsed and covered the hole completely.
Max grabbed both cards in his hands and looked at them with pride. "A Carcharodontosaurus card and a Fire Cannon Move Card." He said before he began to pet Ace. "You did it, Ace. Thanks to you, everyone is safe."
"It was honestly nothing." Was all the Carnotaurus could reply, enjoying Max's touch. Max then stood up and handed the cards to Rex.
"Rex, these belong to you." He said as he handed the cards to him.
"Thanks." Rex replied before he took the cards from Max. "But I wasn't just me and Ace. You and Terry helped a lot as well."
"See how teamwork can lead to victory?" Zoe said with a smile, as she, Chomp, and Tank saw that the four of them had seemed to have strengthened their bonds.
"Just like I always say, teamwork." Max said while rubbing his nose smugly. Zoe just rolled her eyes while Chomp looked at both of them confused.
"So, Rex, what are you going to name her?" Chomp asked, turning his attention away from Max and Zoe.
Rex put a finger to his hand in thought. "Well, she is a Fire Element, and considering our problem with the rubble, I think Coal would be an appropriate name." He said.
DK
While the D-Team celebrated, the Alpha Gang was having trouble with their own dinosaurs. "Would you guys do something?!" Ursula yelled at her teammates. "If you think I'm going to return to Dr.Z without the dinosaur and without Gigas you can forget it!" Sure enough, Gigas' card was stuck on a tree branch, out of reach from them even with their jumping shoes.
"I can only stretch so far." Zander told her. "And I can only jump so high!" He suddenly stopped jumping as he had a realization. "Wait, I have an idea!" He said before jumping to the sides. He soon began bouncing straight up and down repeatedly to build up momentum before giving on last bounce high into the sky. "Aah!" He yelled as he skyrocketed up.
Ursula and Ed just watched as Zander disappeared. "I've heard of going out on a limb, but that's ridiculous." Ursula commented.
Ed agreed but still liked the idea. "Come on! Let's try it, too!" He said as he grabbed Ursula's hand and tried the same tactic Zander used and skyrocketed high up into the sky. Ursula winced as she flew through the trees. When she came out of the trees she saw that Gigas' card was on her lips. "Hey, Ursula, you did it!" Ed said cheerfully as he noticed the card in her mouth.
"Nice catch!" Zander commented as he looked behind him.
"Thanks." Ursula said as she took the card out of her mouth.
"Hey, traveling like this is better than that airplane." Ed commented as he began enjoying the bouncing.
"Yeah, we're not as big a target for low flying birds." Zander added. And the minute he said that they were swarmed by another flock of egrets.
Next time on Dinosaur King:
Max: Zoe is even worse than Mom
Tank: What makes her queen of the house?
Spike: That, boys, is what we call maternal instinct
Zoe: That dinosaur's a mother protecting its egg!
Spiny: I'm home alone
A/N: Well that's another chapter finished. Not much to say with this one.
Most of what to say is involving Ace and Terry. I decided to give them tensions since I felt that would fit with the whole teamwork message. The Flaming Cyclone idea came from the story Magic and Prehistory where it originated from. I recommend it for Dinosaur King fans, it's actually pretty good. Though it is a crossover with MLP so if you hate that franchise... hopefully the fights will be enjoyable.
Anyway since we have questions it's time for a QA!
Both our questions are from King-Dorado
How stupid a voice do you mean for spinys voice? Caboose from RvB stupid or Luffy from One Piece stupid?
I'm not too familiar with either of those characters. From what I saw I'd say more Caboose. Though really I just use the voices in my head with my own voice so really they can sound like whatever you want.
Will dinosaurs from move cards be able to appear in the sanctuary at the lab? And if so I thought of a name for the Futabasaurus Zoey befriends, Tabitha since it fits Zoeys naming style.
Yes Move Card dinosaurs will appear in the sanctuary. Futaba will keep his cannon name, however.
Anyway, see you guys next time.
